Saying hi

Recommended Posts

I have been politely asked to introduce myself so here goes, I found this site by accident and seen friendly people, my sister bought me the navigator watch many years ago and haven't been able to wear it due to broken strap, like I said I have charger and watch works and very good time keeper but it means more to me than that. I've been to many jewelers and get same reply "American and can't get parts" so mabee a cha ce to get it sorted here. I am a disabled biker and got my bike problems sorted on forums online so let's see if you friendly guys an do the same with time and it's repair. Any suggestions be appreciated.

The most important thing is to check the endstone is actually clean before oiling and assembling
